MANILA — Former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV plans to reveal the substance of his would-be testimony before the Senate Impeachment Court, the opposition figure said in a statement posted to Facebook on Thursday.
Trillanes announced that the disclosure will occur on Friday, October 2, though he did not specify the format or venue for the revelation. The move comes as the impeachment proceedings continue, with Trillanes indicating he had prepared remarks for presentation had prosecutors summoned him as a witness.
The former military officer and vocal critic of the administration has been an active figure in high-profile political cases in recent years. His decision to publicly detail his prospective testimony represents an effort to ensure his perspective reaches the public record despite not being called to testify before the impeachment court.
Details regarding the specific nature and scope of Trillanes' prepared testimony remain unclear pending his Friday announcement.
